Winter Storm Cripples US Travel as Thanksgiving Rush Collides With Chaos
A powerful winter storm has disrupted travel across the US as millions return from the Thanksgiving weekend. Heavy snow and icy conditions caused over 1,000 flight cancellations and 13,000 delays on Sunday alone. Meanwhile, airports set new records for passenger numbers despite the chaos.
The storm first hit the Midwest on Monday afternoon, dumping two to four inches of snow from Kansas to Indiana. By evening, it moved northeast, with forecasts predicting over six inches of snow from northern Pennsylvania to central Maine by Tuesday.
The storm continues to impact travel, with snowfall expected to persist into Tuesday across the Northeast. Flight cancellations and delays remain high, while road conditions stay hazardous in affected areas. The TSA’s record-breaking passenger numbers highlight the scale of holiday travel despite the disruptions.
